Section 107 has been a part of the code since 1984 and was rarely used, but in the last year the Liberal government has invoked multiple times.
It used the provision to end a labour dispute between the union and Canada's two largest railway companies, a labour disruption at ports in Montreal and Vancouver, and to send striking Canada Post workers and the Crown corporation into binding arbitration.
"The last couple of years [Section 107] seems to be the government's go-to when a difficult round of bargaining is occurring," Hancock said. "I think this experience this past week has shown them that 107 is not effective."
Going forward, LeVasseur said, the unions know they have the advantage. He said that in future, the CIRB could go to court to enforce a Section 107 order, but that might just result in opposition to the provision rising to the next level.
"Other unions may say, 'Well, let's put it all together and make it a national strike for all these unions,' he said. "That's the danger."
I remember when Digg and Reddit were equally competitive. People were taking stuff from one site and putting it on the other all the time (until Digg eventually died). I imagine it will soon be the case here.
